In the case of Red Hat folks the policy *is* followed strictly. When sourceware was first set up ages ago, I believe every engineer in Cygnus had an account on it. Since that time we grant write access using the same rules as everyone else. However, the policy is only that a maintainer has to elect you before you are granted access. It seemed like Geoff Keating was doing this. Was that not the case? If it wasn't, I'll revoke the account. cgf
